Catholic-Jewish Relations

This book provides an introductory guide to key themes articulated in conciliar, papal, and curial statements of the Catholic Church as part of its ongoing dialogue and friendship with the Jewish people. 

Themes include the significance of Jesus's identity as a faithful Jew; the Church's permanent link with the mystery of Israel; the continuing validity of the "unrevoked" Jewish covenant; Scripture as a source of both unity and division between Christians and Jews; appreciation of Judaism as a living tradition; the problem of supersessionism and anti-Jewish prejudice in biblical interpretation; Antisemitism; Mission; the significance of the Land.
